Question:A certain mosque guard expels worshippers from the mosque and does not allow them to enter under the pretext of COVID-19, although the number is small, the mosque is large, and only those who want to enter are allowed. Everything has returned to its normal state except for this mosque. Is this action correct?
Answer:In the name of Allah, it is incumbent upon the responsible authority to fulfill its duty and to alert the mosque manager that there is no objection to opening the mosque while adhering to the medical directives regarding this matter, as we have emphasized in our previous statement regarding serving the believers. Allah is the Guide.
Question:In the congregational prayer, if the follower raises his head from bowing before the leader and remains standing intentionally without returning to bowing to follow the leader, is it ruled that their congregation is invalidated?
Answer:In the name of Allah, the congregation is not invalidated by such an action because the follower in this situation has the choice between two options: either returning to bow to follow the leader or waiting for him to prostrate. Allah knows best.
Question:I pray in a mosque, but I do not believe that the leader of the prayers is a just man. However, if I leave the congregation prayer, the people who pray there will notice that. This might be bad for the leader and make the praying people separate into two parts. My question is: Is it permissible to pray behind him without the intention of a congregational prayer?
Answer:In the name of Allah, it is permissible, provided that all the conditions of the prayer are met as is required. Allah knows best.
Question:To rectify the congregational prayer of women with men, if women were next to men, there must be a barrier between the two parties. Is it conditional that this barrier to be obstructive of vision or to be at a certain height?
Answer:In the name of Allah, it is conditional that this barrier is to be obstructive of vision. Allah knows best.
Question:If the leader of congregational prayer does not show the Arabic sound “Hamza” [glottal stop] in the pronunciation of the word “A’naamta” and does not apply one of the rules of the Quranic recitation which is “Med” (extension of the long vowel [a:] ) in the word “Aldhaleen”, but he extends the words Ahad or Alsamad. Is it right to follow this leader in prayer?
Answer:In the name of Allah, it is not permissible to follow him whether he is able to learn the right pronunciation or not. Allah knows best.
Question:Knowing the rewards of the congregational prayer, if a person prays individually while he is certain of the prayer leader’s correctness in terms of reciting the prayer and of being a just prayer leader, would such a person be regarded as underestimating the congregational prayer and as a sinner?
Answer:In the name of Allah, definitely, he underestimates the congregational prayer, if he leaves it out of underestimation. Allah is the All Guide and Knowing.
Question:In congregational prayer, if the traveler who prays a shortened prayer stands in the first line when performing the Tasleem part of the prayer, is the time between finishing Tasleem and joining the congregational prayer again regarded as a disconnection from the Imam, where his tasleem causes removing the connection of those who are connected to the Imam (leader in a congregational prayer) through him?
Answer:In the name of Allah, there is no doubt that the tasleem of the traveller as in the question is considered a disconnection from the Imam and this will cause the disconnection of those who are connected through him.
Question:If the led praying person prays individually in the first line, in which position he stands to invalidate the prayer of the led praying people who are connected to the leader by him? Is it directly after the Imam (leader in congregational prayer) or next to the one behind the Imam?
Answer:In the name of Allah, if the led praying person prays next to the Imam individually, he will be a barrier between the prayer leader and the praying people. If this person is right behind the Imam in that his right or left is before the Imam’s right or left, where the ones on his right and/or left are the led praying people, it is regarded as congregational prayer as for the led praying people. Allah knows best.
Question:Should the Leader of Congregational Prayer [Imam of Group Praying Persons] leave to recite one of the Suras [chapters], either by mistake or due to forgetfulness, and reached to Rukoo part, what of the following is to be done by the led praying people: 1 To recite the sura and the Imam prolongs rukoo till the led praying people catch with him? 2 To recite the sura and catch with the Imam till the prostration? 3 Only the led praying people recite the sura? 4 To leave the sura and join the Imam?
Answer:In the name of Allah, as mentioned in the question, the Imam should resume his prayer and the led praying people should also resume with him. The Imam should offer the two prostrations of mistake [Sahoo] for leaving the sura due to mistake or forgetfulness. The led praying people have no right to recite in the way you have mentioned. Allah knows best.
